Your approval for waiver of premiums on your Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance (RH) coverage makes you eligible
for up to $30,000 of Supplemental Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance (SRH). The information below provides
information about the coverage and instructions on how to apply for the coverage.
Plans and Premiums
You may select from any of the nine plans of RH insurance for your SRH coverage. The premiums for your SRH
insurance are determined by your age and the plan of insurance and amount of coverage you select. You can select any
amount of coverage you desire up to $30,000. If you choose less than $30,000 initially, you can request additional
coverage within one year of receiving this notice.
Please review the enclosed VA pamphlet (Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance Information and Premium Rates 29-9), for a
detailed description of the available plans and premium rates.
No Waiver of Premiums
Unlike your basic coverage, the supplemental coverage does not provide for a waiver of premiums if you are totally
disabled. If you desire this coverage, you must pay the premiums for it.
Deadline To Apply
If you are interested in SRH Insurance, you must apply before
whichever comes first.
How To Apply
Simply complete the application and return it to:
Department of Veterans Affairs
Regional Office and Insurance Center (SRH)
P.O. Box 7208
Philadelphia, PA 19101

or before your 65th birthday,
